the story behind where the rubber meets the road...

We have a ridiculous opportunity... and see no rational reason not to take advantage of it. We have all found a moment that the three of us (two, after August 16th) have the time, at the same time, to hit the road and see the beautiful, complicated, wonderful country that we love, in more detail than any of us have had the chance to see it before. We want to catch everything we can: the awe inspiring natural beauty, art in every way it's manifested and, of course, the bizarre roadside attractions. And so, on August 10th we will set off from San Francisco, CA to Wilmington, NC in a general zigzag pattern across the west-central and southern U.S. and just... see what happens. The difference from the average road trip, of course, is that we're going to document the hell out of it for posterity, and hopefully, your entertainment.

the players

Kathy - the writer; the driver; giving up on the west coast and going home---the long way

dana - the photographer; upon hearing that Kathy was driving across country, said that she had always wanted to do that---and so...she's doing that & documenting the hell out of it!

Justin - the part-timer; upon hearing that Dana was joining Kathy, instantly got jealous---so he's coming along until Denver
